You're right, we need water fountains with milk instead

538s model was a good estimator that year too, they leaned towards Hillary (and to be fair, she did win the popular vote) but certainly kept a trump win in the swing states within margin of error.

270 to win is another good site

I'll look into LN more, I'm familiar with the centralization concerns (but still think they're able to be mitigate until more upgrades), but am not familiar with the costs you're bringing up. Fee estimators notoriously round up, I've never spent more than a dollar but that's anecdotal

BCH is still an attempt at centralization from bitmain, a company which literally installed kill switches in their miners without telling anyone, and ran botting attacks in /r/Bitcoin and /r/BTC during that fiasco - the hard fork they created is absolutely more centralized than Bitcoin

There will be a time to do something as risky as hard fork for a block size upgrade, but to do it for the sake of just one upgrade that serious doesn't make sense to me. If a hard fork must happen there might as well include other bips that necessitate a hard fork like drivechain.

Soft fork upgrades which enable more efficient algorithms like schnorr / SegWit in the meantime have scaled tps without having to waste block space. Bch is cheap because there's no demand or usage.

Fiat makes itself obsolete

Bitcoin cash was an attempt at centralized control by Jihan Wu. Just because the block size is bigger doesn't mean it's better for decentralization. In fact, the increased costs of maintaining a node just makes it harder for people in (typically poorer) oppressive countries to self verify

They are still increasing the TPS, lightning network isn't perfect, but it can scale beyond visa until more upgrades are implemented

Ollama (+ web-ui but ollama serve & && ollama run is all you need) then compare and contrast the various models

I've had luck with Mistral for example

Russia (allegedly) has elections too however

We might as well change the baseline for ADHD since technology has hammered everyone's dopamine receptors

Again, those are my ideals. Realistically, not everything can be decentralized in a trustless way.

That said, much of our current system of signing documents to verify it was done by a certain Identity can be automated. Enforcement and neorealism are a separate issue to mitigate, but the delegation of authority to humans can be automated without human involvement

After 6 months of trying to get this to work in NixOS I finally cracked and posted on discourse.nixos.org right before I figured out how to export the appropriate library in the shellHooks function, go figure
